Coffee with Larry, April 30, 2024, A Fanastic Weekend of Athletics! Penn, Drake, Suzhou, Bermuda as elites open their seasons!

This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on the world of track & field!

This is Coffee with Larry for Monday, April 29, 2024.

#CoffeewithLarry is sponsored by #JAMBAR, the Original Organic Artisan Sports Energy Bar. Jenny Maxwell founded JAMBAR in 2021 after three years of development. JAMBAR is made in small patches with organic ingredients from Northern California.

JAMBAR has 34 grams of carbohydrates and 10 grams of protein and is sweetened with maple syrup.

I like the taste of JAMBAR and found them at the Running Event. Jenny Maxwell and her team came on as a sponsor of CWL.

Thanks #EATJAMBAR!
